2.5 is about trying something new.

WordPress has in the past had a "simple" and "advanced" posting interface.

We've also had an interface where almost everything was draggable and 
droppable.

I'm intimately familiar with how and why these worked or didn't work, 
and that's why we're going to try something new. We've kept some things 
for years that seem to work well virtually untouched, but when things 
are a big source of support issues and confusion (like the dashboard and 
write page were) I think it's worth not being content with the status 
quo and reaching for something more.
